Instructions

Cook the pasta in a large pot of salted water for 1-2 minutes less than the package instructions. Reserve 1 cup of the pasta water before draining.
Meanwhile, in a large skillet, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the garlic and cook for a minute or two, until fragrant and golden but not browned.
Add the chicken stock and bring to a simmer. It needs to be very warm to help melt the cheese.
Turn the heat to low and add the Boursin cheese. Stir, breaking up the cheese, until it melts into a silky sauce.
Add the pasta to the skillet of sauce. Heat for 2-3 minutes to heat through. Add the spinach and toss to coat. Add pasta water as needed to adjust the consistency - about 1/2 cup to 1 cup. Stir. Serve hot.

Notes

Make sure to reserve pasta water when cooking the pasta.

Use your favorite pasta shape and your favorite flavor of Boursin cheese.

Store leftovers in the fridge for 3-4 days. To reheat add a splash of milk or water and either microwave or heat gently on the stove top, until heated through.
